We’ve already covered the top-five street-style stars and the craziest street-style shoes, but before we can fully put Fashion Month to bed, it’s time to pine over some bags.

And with so many Gucci repeats on the streets, it was nice to see some people branch out with cool brands like Vetements and Loewe, a ton of classic Céline bags, and chic pairings of key chains and straps. Scroll down below to see the best, worst, and craziest bags from Fashion Month.

Best Bag for Cool Kids

Carrying this J.W. Anderson bag is like saying to your friends, “I’m so hip that I don’t even think about wearing classic brands like Prada and Chanel.” Luckily, it’s also really stunning even if your friends don’t pay attention to fashion brands.

Best Extravagant Use of Logos

At this point we’ve seen the Loewe puzzle bag in every color and size, but in metallic with the logo on it? It’s just begging to be on a street photographer’s blog.

If you’re thinking no one will notice that you’re carrying the same casually monogrammed Burberry backpack as every top model, think again.

Best “I’m High Fashion and Don’t You Forget It” Bag

The Louis Vuitton Twist MM is an unforgettable bag — and if you want to justify the purchase price, you’ll never forget to show it off, either.
